Greatest Inventions of All Time
- Greatest Inventions of All Time
An important part of human nature is aspiration for progress. A man changes the environment with scientific and technical innovations. Everyday, a new patent is introduced somewhere in the world. Some inventions were invented long time ago and made our lives so much easier, that we got used to them as if the nature itself had made them. For example, we use our computers everyday, check the mail and make contacts with people throughout the world, in a few minutes, not being aware of the one who enabled us to do that.
The Internet
Internet best inventions. 1960s-1970s: ARPANET: Commonly thought of as the predecessor to the Internet and created by the US Department of Defenses Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). The first known fully operational packet-switching network, the ARPANET was designed to facilitate communication between ARPA computer terminals during the early 1960s, at a time when computers where far too expensive for widespread usage. Though conception of the idea behind ARPANET began as early as 1962, the first stable link between multiple computers through the ARPANET occurred in 1969, ten years after the first conceptual network architectural models were initiated independently by Paul Baran and Donald Davies.
